Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne

Thirty-eight hectares beside the Yarra holding more than 8,500 plant species, free to enter and open every day of the year.

Walk the lakes, rainforest and cactus collections, join a guided plant walk, or take an Aboriginal heritage tour with a First Peoples guide.

Local tip: Gates open at 7.30am but closing time shifts with the season, so check the day's hours before a late-afternoon visit.
